For example....

"Preliminary A330/A340 FCPC algorithm"

"The algorithm did not effectively manage a specific situation where AOA 2 and AOA 3 on one side of the aircraft were temporarily incorrect and AOA 1 on the other side of the aircraft was correct, resulting in ADR 1 being rejected."

So, you've got a system where _two_ of the three sensors are bad, and you need to deal with it.



I'm in awe of the fact that two sensors can be wrong AND agree with each other.


Those being analog sensors measuring analog, physical things, they will never exactly agree with each other; so there's a plausibility window. As long as the fault causes the sensors to remain within said window they will be considered as valid.


It is just like having range of values considered to be equal for floating point numbers.
